Lead-acid battery technology evolution and future challenges

Lead battery performance has steadily improved over the last 100 years with incremental developments accelerating that improvement in the last two decades. Here, Francisco Trinidad, PhD Electro-chemistry, and Independent Advisor, gives BEST an overview of his talk on the latest versions of the lead-acid battery being developed to cope with ever changing requirements.

The electrification of the automotive sector and, more recently, the increasing energy storage demand are the main drivers for battery innovation. Both applications require maintenance free operation, high specific power in charge and discharge and moderate volumetric energy density.
